AccessDBProviderSample06

This sample shows how to overwrite content methods to support calls to the Clear-Content, Get-Content, and Set-Content cmdlets. These methods should be implemented when the user needs to manage the content of the items in the data store. The provider class in this sample derives from the System.Management.Automation.Provider.NavigationCmdletProvider class, and it implements the System.Management.Automation.Provider.IContentCmdletProvider interface.

Demonstrates

Important

Your provider class will most likely derive from one of the following classes and possibly implement other provider interfaces:

For more information about choosing which provider class to derive from based on provider features, see Designing Your Windows PowerShell Provider.

This sample demonstrates the following:

Declaring the CmdletProvider attribute.
Defining a provider class that derives from the System.Management.Automation.Provider.NavigationCmdletProvider class and that declares the System.Management.Automation.Provider.IContentCmdletProvider interface.
Overwriting the System.Management.Automation.Provider.IContentCmdletProvider.ClearContent* method to change the behavior of the Clear-Content cmdlet, allowing the user to remove the content from an item. (This sample does not show how to add dynamic parameters to the Clear-Content cmdlet.)
Overwriting the System.Management.Automation.Provider.IContentCmdletProvider.GetContentReader* method to change the behavior of the Get-Content cmdlet, allowing the user to retrieve the content of an item. (This sample does not show how to add dynamic parameters to the Get-Content cmdlet.).
Overwriting the Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.FileSystemProvider.GetContentWriter* method to change the behavior of the Set-Content cmdlet, allowing the user to update the content of an item. (This sample does not show how to add dynamic parameters to the Set-Content cmdlet.)

This sample shows how to overwrite the methods needed to clear, get, and set the content of items in a Microsoft Access data base.
